I was ask one day what nationality I was. Well, with a name like Reichert, which saw as German, I told them I was American. I responded; "But your name is German!" I told them; "For over seven generation my family has lived here. At what point do we stop be from the old world and start being Americans?"
P.S. I see you work from WebMD. How much of that company's programming is in VFP?
>Well I am from the US. When I am asked what is my nationality by someone I answer "Irish and English" as that is where my maternal and paternal families originate. Only term I have heard re: US is American as in "Ugly American" or "Americans go home" or "I really like American Jazz".

>I agree that Canadians are also Americans as are the folks from central and south America as well.

>I didn't coin the nomenclature so it isn't my fault, honestly. Someone else did it. I guess they did it cuz United Statesian sounds so silly. Of course if one were to add a silly walk with that nationality we would have to include you brits in there too somehow as you've got the ministy of silly walks over there.
